H1N1 Flu clinic

10-12 year history on snow budget
highlight in Express Line
in 1998 vs 2009 police statistics
more calls with less folks
thanks to the employees for doing this
Fire Dept calls are up, DPW road miles have grown
DPW is down 6 positions so handling the snow will be a little be slower this time around
trying not to fill jobs until the budget picture clarifies in a couple of months
belt tightening across many departments
some positions are critical and can't go unfilled but for others we are waiting to see what the numbers from the State will be
Community Development
application scoring increased from 83 to 89 (need to check the numbers)
this helps with grant applications
